    smoke hollow 4-in-1 combo grill

    I used a piece of 1/8 inch thick aluminum about 6inches wide. I measured the top of the opening and did some bending then cut the sides back at angels, bent the sides 90 degrees in and the top edge down so it covered the sides part way. Drilled a couple holes and bolted it in. So far it seems to...

    Smoker I built.

    Gary yes that is a flapper on the stack. Hard to see in the picture but there is a small link chain on it with a pin in the stack to control it. It's more for looks and to keep the weather out. I leave it wide open when in use.

    Smoking in Tucson- But it's a dry heat

    Glad to have you join. Mods sounds good and be looking for the pics. Wish we had cheap wood here in Northern Illinois. I mainly use hickory myself but add apple or cherry at times with some cooks. Good luck on the mods and keep smoking.

    Hello and happy smoking!

    That's cool I just finally got pics of my smoker I made posted. Not the best with this computer stuff, but enough to get in trouble sometimes.

    Hello from West Central Ohio

    Welcome to the group from Northern Illinois. I think if I'm reading your question right is the use of propane, wood or charcoal different. They are all just heat sources and the type of chips/chunks you are using is the big factor in your cook. Hope that helps you some. Good luck and keep smoking.

    Hello

    Glad you joined. The use of a temp probe is great to help in not over doing it. Plus there are different things you can add or do at different temps for flavor and tenderness. Sounds like things have worked so far. Good luck and you can find all kinds of helpful people and ideas here. Keep...

    Hello all, newbie from Roseville, MI.

    Welcome to the group from Northern Illinois. I started smoking years ago on a similar unit. After it I was hooked and went bigger to hold more meat. The probe should be fine and good luck with the mods and cooks.

    First Timer Here

    Hi and welcome to the group. The wood chunks are the better bet with charcoal, chips even soak burn up to fast. You can use a chip box on the coals or if you don't have one you can make a double layered box with foil to place them in on top of the coals. You want them to smolder not fire up...

    Greetings from Mississippi

    Welcome glad you joined. I myself have been using a 3-2-1 method on BB ribs. Start with a good rub then fire up the smoker to 225. First 3 hours in smoke. Then wrap separate in foil, you can add a little BBQ down the middle of the slab or small amount of apple juice, honey, and cinnamon mixed...

    Hello and welcome to the group. From Northern Illinois here just got my first smoker build seasoned today. Pic of it in tread (smoker I built) under biguglysmoker. I used a 125 gallon tank with 18/18/20 firebox. It seemed to work out well. Good luck with the build and hope to see pics of it...

    Hello and welcome to the group from Northern Illinois. I myself have also only smoker whole briskets. The last one I did was from TuslaJeff's newsletter. If I remember right (it's been some time) I smoked it to 135 then place it in a foil pan added a can of good beef broth and cover pan with...

    Smoker I built.

    Well I got it seasoned today. Found it needs just a couple small mods. Fenders on tires to keep firebox heat back and need to put plate in to redirect heat coming out of firebox. Heats baffle plate at that end more and makes temps about 25 degrees different end to end. Think adding a defector...
